We are thrilled to introduce Kent School District's updated Strategic Plan. This comprehensive plan outlines our vision and goals for the future, with a strong emphasis on preparing our students to thrive in a rapidly changing world, fostering strong partnerships, building equitable systems, and fostering an inclusive and diverse workforce. 

Goal 1: Preparing Students to be Global Citizens 

At the heart of our Strategic Plan is our mission to successfully prepare all students for their futures, equipped with the skills, knowledge, and mindsets to achieve their highest potential in their endeavors. We have outlined several key commitments under this goal, including implementing support systems for student academic, behavioral, and mental health needs, ensuring high-quality instruction through professional development, and building transferable life readiness skills.

Goal 2: Expanding Student, Family, and Community Partnerships 

We believe that our shared success is built on strong partnerships between students, families, staff, and the community. Our commitments to expanding these partnerships will foster collaborative approaches to student achievement and create a more inclusive and welcoming school community. This goal focuses on authentic collaboration, student input, improved communication, and diverse community engagement.

Goal 3: Building Equitable Systems and School Environments 

We are dedicated to building equitable systems and creating school environments that support the success of every student. This goal emphasizes equitable access to programs, improvement cycles, clear communication, and a commitment to transparency. Our aim is to create an educational environment where every student can excel.

Goal 4: Investing in a Diverse Workforce and Inclusive Workplace Cultures 

An inclusive workplace culture that invests in attracting and retaining a diverse workforce enables our students to fully engage in their academic experience. Our commitments in these areas will create an environment where every staff member can contribute their unique talents and perspectives. This goal focuses on recruitment and retention of a diverse workforce, fostering a sense of belonging, creating inclusive spaces, and promoting effective leadership.
